A second case of bird flu in a human has been found in England. The person caught the H5N1 virus on a farm in the West Midlands. They had contact with infected birds. Health experts say such cases are very rare and the risk to the public is low. The patient is in hospital but is doing well. No human-to-human spread has been found. All infected birds on the farm have been culled. Bird flu cases in birds are rising, and strict rules are in place. People are urged not to touch sick or dead birds and report them quickly.
